Three men who allegedly assaulted and hospitalized their neighbor and co-worker were taken into custody Friday. 

Around 8 p.m. Friday, deputies responded to an assault with a deadly weapon call on the 27300 block of Rock Rose Lane in Canyon Country, said Deputy Natalie Arriaga, spokesperson for the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station.  

“It was reported the suspect was physically assaulting another party,” Arriaga said. “Upon arrival, deputies learned the victim was physically assaulted by three co-workers who reside in the apartment complex.” 

The victim sustained moderate injuries and was transported to the hospital, according to Arriaga. 

Esteban Godinez 53, Omar Garcia, 27 and Hugo Garcia, 27, all from Canyon Country, were arrested at the apartment complex and booked into the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station for assault with a deadly weapon likely to produce great bodily injury, Arriaga said. 

The three suspects remain in custody at this time.
